Add the selection.
Choose or drop the folder containing the selected JPGs. If you do not have that folder, you can use one or many screenshots with visible filenames instead.
From JPG selects to the matching RAWs. Without the digging.
Choose the folder that contains the selected JPGs. If you only received screenshots, SelectRAW can read the visible filenames from those instead. Then choose where your RAW archive lives and where the matches should be copied.
Choose or drop the folder containing the selected JPGs. If you do not have that folder, you can use one or many screenshots with visible filenames instead.
Choose one or more shoot folders, archive drives or external SSDs. SelectRAW searches them recursively while leaving your originals untouched.
Review what was found, resolve the odd duplicate if needed, then copy the exact RAWs to the destination you choose.
The normal workflow starts with a folder containing the selected JPGs. But if the selection only arrives as screenshots, you can drop a whole batch in at once. SelectRAW reads the visible filenames locally, combines duplicates and lets you check the list before any RAW search begins.
No image upload. No account. The screenshots are simply another way to provide the selection names.
Local text recognition on your MacSelectRAW does one job. It does not catalogue your archive, replace Lightroom or ask you to move your workflow into another ecosystem.
Filename matching stays strict. If SelectRAW is not sure which RAW is right, it asks instead of making a risky guess.
Add several folders, archives or external SSDs. Subfolders are searched automatically.
Start with the actual folder of selected JPGs whenever you have it. Screenshots are available as a practical fallback when you do not.
RAWs are copied, not moved. Existing destination files are not silently overwritten.
If a matching XMP sidecar exists next to the RAW, SelectRAW can copy it along with the image.
See what matched, what did not, what was skipped and where every copied file came from. Export to CSV if needed.
SelectRAW searches by filename, so it does not need to decode your RAW file before it can find it.
JPG and JPEG selections are supported. RAW extension matching is case-insensitive.
SelectRAW is currently being prepared for its first public Mac release. The site is ready; the download button will go live after signing, notarisation and the final real-world test.
No. File scanning, screenshot text recognition and matching happen locally on your Mac. SelectRAW does not need an account or cloud service to do its job.
No. The normal and simplest route is to choose the folder containing your selected JPGs. Screenshots are an additional option for situations where you only received images of the selection. You can drop multiple screenshots in at once and review the detected filenames before searching.
SelectRAW does not silently choose one. It shows the possible matches so you can select the correct RAW.
No. The normal workflow copies matched files to the destination you choose. It is deliberately designed not to move or delete your source RAWs.
No — and that is the point. SelectRAW is a small utility for one repetitive task: turning selects back into the RAW files you need.
